Postoperative leg numbness after comminuted heel fracture may be caused by physiological factors such as lack of postoperative exercise and poor local blood circulation, or it may be caused by pathologic factors such as nerve injury caused by the fracture. According to the specific situation, general treatment, physical therapy or drug treatment should be chosen.
1. Physiological factors: prolonged immobilization and lack of exercise after the fracture may lead to muscle atrophy, thus leading to leg numbness, and poor blood circulation may also lead to leg numbness. You can exercise and move the joints and muscles, elevate the affected limbs to promote blood return, or use medicines that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as thromboxane, to improve blood circulation.
2. Nerve injury: Fracture can lead to local numbness after nerve injury. Nutritional nerve drugs such as methylcobalamin can be used to promote nerve recovery, and can be combined with physical therapy methods such as acupuncture and baking electricity.
Numbness of the leg after the operation of comminuted fracture of the heel bone should be consulted in time to avoid delaying the condition, and do not blindly use medication on your own.
